MAGURA ANNOUNCES THE MT7 DANNY MACASKILL BRAKES

SIGNATURELINE - LIMITED SETS WORLDWIDE

Danny MacAskill is renowned all around the world for his exceptional skills on the trail and for his daredevilish trial tricks. In cooperation with him MAGURA have developed a brake, which perfectly suits the highest requirements demanded by an athlete of Danny's class - the MT7 Danny MacAskill. The Danny MacAskill Signatureline has been designed and specified together with the famous rider. This was done to ensure the brake system either meets or surpasses the requirements placed on it by a professional athlete. The 4 piston calliper is dressed in prominent raceline yellow and is complemented by a real highlight in the form of a new brake lever.

NEW HC3 LEVER BLADE

MAGURA has taken the HC3 technology from our motorcycle division and adapted it for bicycle application. The very first use of this new technology will be for the new MT7 Danny MacAskill. The HC3 lever blade allows for a manual adjustment of the mechnical leverage ratio and is designed to allow for an individual set up with regards to braking force required combined with a perfect pressure point. The ratio adjustment is a new development and elevates the brake system to a new level. The single finger lever offers ideal grip ergonomics. AWARDED MT7 BRAKE POWER In hard trail and trial applications the Danny MacAskill Signatureline features maximum stability in all conditions. Tried and tested - the award winning 4 piston MT7 brake power! PACKED IN A SPECIAL GIFT BOX The packaging has also been individually designed for Danny MacAskill. The brakes are supplied in an aluminium presentation box and include two spare sets of 8.R brake pads as well as the set of 8.P brake pads used in the original system. The number of systems on offer is limited worldwide. MAGURA MT7 DM BRAKE SPECS
